Overview and Applications
NI 651x devices are industrial 32- or 64-channel isolated digital I/O
interfaces for PCI and PXI/CompactPCI systems. You can wire each input
bank in a source or sink configuration and input and output at digital
levels up to ±30 VDC with high current switching capability. NI 651x
devices are ideal for general-purpose data acquisition applications as
well as industrial control and automated manufacturing test. With high
current drive and isolation, you can connect the digital I/O directly to a
wide array of 24 V electronic devices, sensors, and actuators.
NI 651x devices offer superior features and high value for industrial
control and manufacturing test applications such as factory automation,
embedded machine control, and production line verification. These devices
have been designed to incorporate the latest hardware technologies and
provide innovative features for applications requiring ease of use, high
reliability, and performance. NI 651x devices take advantage of NI-DAQmx
software, which includes technology to speed up application development
with many helpful features including the DAQ Assistant, automatic code
generation, and high-performance multithreaded streaming technology.
Hardware
High-Reliability Industrial Feature Set
NI 651x devices offer a set of high-reliability features designed to
automate even the most demanding applications:
• Isolation provides an extended voltage range and direct connection
to industrial sensors and actuators
• Programmable power-up states offer safe operation when connected
to pumps/valves/motors/relays
• Digital I/O watchdogs detect computer or application errors and
ensure safe recovery
• Change detection triggers your application and returns I/O data
after a digital event with minimal processor usage
• Programmable input filters eliminate glitches/spikes and remove noise

Connect Sensors Directly with Isolation
Isolation is a form of built-in signal conditioning that provides several
advantages, such as an extended voltage range and direct connection
to industrial sensors and actuators. Isolation also improves signal quality
and protects computer circuitry. It physically and electrically separates
two parts of a circuit, which breaks ground loops, improves common-mode
voltage and noise rejection, and permits the two parts of the circuit to be
at different voltage levels. Many industrial applications require isolation
to protect the electronics from transient voltage spikes and provide greater
common-mode noise rejection in electrically noisy environments containing
machinery and inductive loads. In bank-to-bank isolated devices, such as an
NI 651x, each bank (or group) of several channels shares the same ground
but is isolated from other banks.

With programmable power-up states, you can configure the initial output
states of the digital I/O device in software to ensure glitch-free operations
when connected to industrial actuators such as pumps, valves, motors,
and relays. The digital I/O device holds these I/O states after receiving
power, so your computer can boot and your software application can
begin running. Programmable power-up states are glitch-free, meaning
the outputs never go through an incorrect state during power up.
You can configure each digital line as high-output or low-output. The
digital I/O device stores the settings in onboard nonvolatile memory and
implements the power-up states automatically after power is applied to
the device.

NI digital I/O watchdogs provide protection against a wide variety
of fault conditions:
• Computer crash – total OS crash
• Application crash – software application ceases to respond
• Driver crash – device driver ceases to respond
• PCI bus failure – communications cease to respond

With watchdogs, the digital outputs go to a safe recovery state when
a fault condition is detected and the watchdog timer expires. Watchdogs
are important whenever the device is connected to actuators such as
pumps, valves, motors, and relays. The digital I/O device monitors the
software application, and if the application fails to respond within the time
limit, the device automatically sets the output lines to a user-defined safe
state. The device remains in the watchdog state until the watchdog timer
is disarmed by the application and new I/O values are written, the NI 651x
is reset, or the computer is restarted.
Trigger Your Application with Change Detection
With change detection, you can automatically trigger your software
application to perform a digital read operation upon a digital change
of state. A digital change of state is defined as the rising edge (0 to 1
transition) or falling edge (1 to 0 transition) on one or more digital lines.
With change detection, you can monitor digital events with minimal
processor usage. No polling is necessary because the digital I/O device
generates an interrupt to automatically wake up your application.
Using NI-DAQmx software technology, an NI 651x notifies the
software application when the event is detected, causing the application
to automatically perform a read operation. To minimize the effects of
noisy input lines, you can use programmable input filters in combination
with change detection to eliminate spurious change detection events
caused by noise or glitches. NI-DAQmx also includes multithreaded
streaming technology so digital change detection events can occur
independently of other data acquisition activities such as analog input
or output events.
Eliminate Noise with Programmable Input Filters
Programmable input filters remove noise, glitches, and spikes on inputs
and provide debouncing for digital switches and relays. This feature is
important for applications in noisy industrial environments to prevent
false readings caused by noise. You can configure the programmable
input filter for each digital line by setting the filter time in seconds. Any
digital noise, glitch, or spike that is shorter than half of the specified
filter time is blocked by the digital I/O device, preventing invalid readings
and false triggers for change detection events.

Digital I/O Connector
The 100-pin high-density SCSI connector on each NI 6511/12/13/14/15
device connects to 100-pin ribbon cables or shielded cables. For
low-cost unshielded connectivity, use the R1005050 ribbon cable with
two CB-50LP or CB-50 connector blocks (CB-100 kit). For shielded
connectivity, use the SH100-100-F shielded digital I/O cable with the
SCB-100 connector block.
The 37-pin D-Sub connector on NI 6510/16/17/18/19 devices connects
to 37-pin accessories including the SH37F-37M shielded digital I/O cable
with the CB-37FH DIN-rail-mountable connector block.
